- Question
In the given question, a statement divided into different segments is given. The first segment is fixed, rearrange the other segments to form a coherent statement. Introduction of the finance bill was delayed/ budget allocation for the cottage (P)/ debating over the renewal of the last year's (Q)/ by a week as the lawmakers were busy (R)/ industry which got wasted (S)
Options- A. PQRS
- B. SPQR
- C. RQPS
- D. QRPS
- Correct Answer
- RQPS
ExplanationThis question can be best solved by the elimination technique. 'was delayed budget allocation', 'was delayed industry which' and 'was delayed debating over' do not make sense; hence P, Q and S can't follow the first segment. This eliminates options 1, 2 and 4. Option 5 places S after R which makes the resultant segment as 'lawmakers were busy industry' which is illogical; hence option 5 can also be eliminated. Hence, the correct sequence is RQPS.

Correct Answer: RSQP
Explanation:
The most logical segment that can follow the first segment is R, 'being arranged into a stack'. This leaves us with only one option i.e. option 1. Hence, the correct answer is RSQP.
Correct Answer: PRQS
Explanation:
Clearly, R and S can't follow the first segment. This eliminates option 1.
Option 2: It is incorrect since P ends with was, which can't be used to end the statement.
Option 3: It is incorrect since the statement can't end in 'by a prolonged'.
Option 4: It makes a coherent statement; hence put it on hold.
Option 5: It is incorrect because P ends in 'was' and Q begins with 'was'.
Two 'was' can't be used together. Hence, the correct sequence is PRQS.
Correct Answer: Excuse my inappropriate language
Explanation:
The phrase ?pardon my French? is usually used humorously to denote an excuse for using taboo words or inappropriate words. The above sentence speaks of a person asking another person to excuse him for using inappropriate language during their discussion. Out of the given option, option 2 is correct.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
?Look over? means to examine something closely. The correct answer is option 5. Belittle means to undervalue someone or something. Pioneer means to introduce or start.
Correct Answer: To acquire information by unofficial communication
Explanation:
The idiom ?to hear it on the grapevine? means to hear about something from informal communication or to hear a gossip. The above sentence talks about the rumour that is spread about the number of vacancies for various posts. Hence, option 3 is correct.
Correct Answer: PRSQ
Explanation:
'an' at the end of the first fixed segment indicates that Q, R and S can't follow the first segment. This leaves us with only one choice i.e. P. This eliminates options 2, 4, and 5.
There are only two such options: option A1and 3. Option 3 can be eliminated since part S ends with 'the' which can't be used as the end of the master statement. Hence, the correct sequence is PRSQ
Correct Answer: QSRP
Explanation:
Clearly, only segment Q fits after the first segment. This eliminates all the options except 1.
Option 2: It is incorrect because it ends in S which ends in 'towards' which can't be used to any statement.
Option 3: It is incorrect for the same reason as option 2.
Option 4: 'towards their plight further worsened' makes no sense; hence it can be eliminated.
Option 5: R is a clear misfit after the first segment; hence it can also be eliminated. Hence, the correct sequence is QSRP.
Correct Answer: Judgement
Explanation:
Judgement means the ability to make considered decisions or come to sensible conclusions. Progress means advancement. Policy means a strategy or an approach. Dissent means lack of approval. Action means activity. The Board members are usually involved in making decisions. Hence, a word that conveys the related meaning should be used to fill the blank. No other word except judgement makes sense in the given context. Hence, 'judgement' is the correct answer.
Correct Answer: Discretion
Explanation:
To settle a dispute, one needs to have a sound decision-making ability to be able to judge both the sides. Also, a judge is a free body to decide upon any issue. 'Know' is a verb which means to be aware of through observation, inquiry, or information. 'Tactics' refer to an action or strategy carefully planned to achieve a specific end. A judge doesn't need tactics to make a judgment. 'Discretion' means the freedom to decide what should be done in a particular situation. 'Brains' refer to the intellectual capacity. 'Bias' means inclination or prejudice for or against one person or group, especially in a way considered to be unfair. Hence option 3 is the correct response.
Correct Answer: Cautious
Explanation:
'Cautious' can be used to make the sentence meaningful which means alert or be careful. The context of the statement is that of the monsoon season being a bit troublesome due to slippery roads which need to be navigated with care. 'Prepared' and 'smart' may appear to be true but we need to choose the most suitable response which in this case is 'cautious'. Hence, 'cautious' is the correct answer.
